Honestly not even sure why he perceives that as helpful. If you gave me the choice between an uphill lie and a nice, flat one, I'd choose flat every time.

No, if anything the total opposite, since moving to a larger flat area would give you an advantage.

All it says is position the mat as close to the original lie of the ball as possible, where the ball will not fall off it. So my priority would be to do just that - have it as close as possible to where the ball actually was. It does not say the mat has to perfectly match the slope of the ground...

So the nearest spot might be exactly where it is now, as long as you leave one corner of it not quite affixed in the ground. So, fine to do that?

Ok, I'll assume you missed it and say it again... The issue is that the official rule doesn't state whether you can adjust the lie angle of the mat - by leaving some of the 'feet' out of the ground for example - to make it flatter so that the ball doesn't roll off.

It's not at all, otherwise this topic wouldn't exist. :LOL:

Are those numbers in seconds? They look way faster. 😂

Just to save us some time - this was discussed in a separate thread. ClubChamp claimed that you cannot alter the lie angle of the mat in an attempt to make sure the ball doesn't roll off of it. He thinks you need to move it to a completely different area where it's already flat. But I argued...

They haven't downed tools, they never had the right tools in the first place. They don't even know where the tools are kept. :ROFLMAO:

Golden rule in our house - if the tissues were in my pocket then that's my fault. If they were in her pockets, then I should've checked all the pockets before putting the washing on so that's my fault. If they were her pockets and she put the washing on - then clearly I should have done the...

I've been trying to add speed, although haven't gone down the speedsticks route as I'm too scared of cocking up my swing when I'm playing the best I ever have. But the main thing I have to remember is not to add speed by swinging the arms faster, as that's where it goes wrong. You need to move...

In the situation I was describing a drop would have still meant chipping back to the fairway regardless.

Sure, but it's not out of wanting to sell everyone. It's more that these players will be thinking of themselves as too big for the Championship and will want out. If you don't get rid you have a player who doesn't want to be there and won't bother putting a shift in to get you promotion. And...

I know, I've heard it too, that's why I was chiming in and saying I don't get it. If you watch Rory's swing he's probably hit the ball by the time you get to 'Severi-'

Don't have a spot in the bag for such whimsy! Next time I'll just stand in the ditch and get wet feet. :LOL:
